We divide 12042791 by 156
We're looking to find how many times 156 goes into 12042791.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 156, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 156

Moving on to step 2:
156 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 120 / 156

Moving on to step 3:
156 can be fit into 120 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 120.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 120 to get 120.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 120, then repeat: 1204 / 156

Going ahead to step 4:
156 can be fit into 1204 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 112.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 1092 from 1204 to get 112.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 112 and repeat the process: 1122 / 156

Advancing to step 5:
1122 divided by 156 is 7 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 77.0
If we subtract 1092 from 1122, we get 30.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 307 / 156

Step 6:
When dividing 307 by 156, we get 1 with a remainder of 151.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 771.0
Subtracting 156 from 307 leaves us with 151.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 151 and repeat the process: 1519 / 156

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 1519 by 156, we get 9 and a remainder of 115.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7719.0
Subtract 1404 from 1519 to get 115.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 115, then repeat: 1151 / 156

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 1151 by 156, we get 7 with a remainder of 59.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 77197.0
If we subtract 1092 from 1151, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
156 can be fit into 590 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 122.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 77197.3
The remainder is 122 after subtracting 468 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 156 fits into 1220 7 times, leaving a remainder of 128.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 77197.37
Deduct 1092 from 1220 and we're left with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 1280 by 156, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 77197.378
If we take 1248 away from 1280, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
320 divided by 156 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 77197.3782
Subtracting 312 from 320 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 156 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 77197.3782
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
156 goes into 800 5 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 77197.378205
If we take 780 away from 800, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 156 fits into 200 1 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 77197.3782051
Subtracting 156 from 200 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
156 goes into 440 2 times with a remainder of 128.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 77197.37820512
The remainder is 128 after subtracting 312 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 77197.37820512 with a balance of 1.28e-07.
